From Monday, June 4th, 2007 to Monday, August 13th, 2007 WCSB World News Tonight with the Living Peter Jennings will be hosted by Liz from Live Transmission (Thursdays 9-11am) and possibly other CSB d.j's. I'm not going to be living in Ohio during that time, hence I can't do the show.

I'm going to be in New Jersey on active duty with the Coast Guard. As far as the sub thing goes I talked to J. Guy about it and gave him a letter with all the specifics. He said it was cool. But, if we're not supposed to get subs for that long and it'll cause problems I'll give up the time slot.

It wouldn't be practical. We'd have to have an actual news department and such. And with CSU being a commuter college, it would be difficult to keep a regular staff of students on hand all the time to compile and read news at the top of the hour.

I was thinking more along the lines of the individual d.j.'s compiling news to be read on there own show if they chose to do so. I could definetly do that for my show considering I'm on CNN.com, Cleveland.com and MSNBC.com all the time when I'm online (and when I'm not on Wiki or My Space). I do agree with the difficulties associated with creating and maintaining a news department at a school such as CSU. Are there any d.j.'s who actually live on campus?

I didn't know you were in the coast guard. no, i wasn't offended that you were keeping your time slot. in fact, i am happy about it... i was just sayin'... you know, kind of wondering for future reference. That's good that j guy is letting you do that.

Hey not that I can do half as good a Job as you can Mr. Jennings but I would be more than willing to sub for your show if liz can't do it from time to time. I'm sure listeners have forgotten about me by now and would forgive you for letting me do your show.

I'm not officially in the Coast Guard yet. I will be on June 5th. I've been kicking around the idea to enlist in the reserves since 2005 and I finally decided to do it. With the student loans I'm going to have after I finish up at CSU (which I estimate to be 2009 at the earliest) the extra money I'll be getting we definetly help. Plus I need a change in my life. Things haven't been good for a while and I needed to do something completely different.

That'd be awesome! I'll let Liz know.

I think doing the news would only help the Communications department get closer to taking over the station. That's their thing, news/journalism.

Maybe news that isn't covered by the other media outlets. Whatever that would be that isn't tabloid, liberal/conservative, or new-age hippie crap. But then again that would take a journalistic approach to the news and the Comm. dept. would be all over that.

News...to keep the comm department away we should give the type of good Journalism that the national inquire give..."human boy bat sez he is God after Finding secrete Nostradamus documents that predict the end of the world after boy bat has a baby with Anna Nicole smith's Dead toes.....more on page 6"

CJ: yes they were talking about Anna Nicole's baby. Hopefully she will grow up relatively un-slutty because AN is not around to influence her. either that or she'll come to worship photos and video of her dead mother and make it her life's goal to emulate her in every way possible.

E: or when that mother dog nursed the little kittens? or a cat nursed puppies or something. it was one of those. and also either a cat or a dog nursed some piglets...probably the dog.

GOF in particular might enjoy the following: "Dog nurses Tiger triplets at China zoo" AP via Yahoo! News - May 17 4:43 AM "It's a dog's life for three newborn tiger triplets in eastern China. The cubs, whom officials at the Jinan Paomaling Wild Animal World in Shandong province are so far just calling "One," "Two" and "Three," have been nursed by a dog since they were rejected by their tiger mother shortly after birth, said Paomaling manager Chen Yucai." (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070517/ap_on_fe_st/odd_china_dog_nurses_tigers_4 20.5.07)

Music news would be appropriate. Show announcements w/ some info about the bands (interesting blurbs about the artist, bio-news, history of the recording, etc), post-show reviews, venue reviews, artist spotlight sets - i.e. more than just album/song title/show dates.

but some people are already doing that, of course.

Maybe Campus News would be something to incorporate into PSA time - reading a Campus News item would count as a PSA and tie the station in more with Cleveland State?

i like the kind of news that appears in the police blotter of the university newspaper. the blurbs like "A 1993 Nissan Sentra was broken into in the Z lot on Wednesday evening. The owner reported that several compact discs were missing from the vehicle"
